Mesmerizing and thrilling experience
We had a fantastic day out at Orana Wildlife Park! I went with my family, and a friend, and there was truly something for everyone. It’s such a well-laid-out park with plenty of space for the little one to run around and see the animals up close. Our toddler absolutely loved it, and it was a perfect way to spend the day together. The highlights for us were definitely the lions, gorilla's and the giraffe feeding. It’s a brilliant spot for a family group—highly recommend it for a fun and enjoyable outdoor day in Christchurch.

We had a great time
The best time is to come after lunch time as the animal feeding activities start at 1pm. It was exhausting but fun.

Horrific
Felt awful paying to shit this shit show. Animals look sad. Terrible dirty enclosures, half enclosures empty. Gorillas looked depressed sat in a concrete block and the poor lonely tiger pacing up and down. Will never ever go back or recommend. Needs closing down. One star for café

Bird Nerd
We purchased our tickets online through book me, with our focus being the native birds, especially the Keas. On arrival we were informed the Kea enclose was closed due to the introduction of a young Kea being introduced. Expressing our disappointment, the team at check in, rang the keeper and confirmed the did only two keeper talks a week and one was later that morning. We were lucky with our days as it allowed us to view several exhibits before the talk in the enclosure, where the Kea had an enrichment feeding. Being the only talk was it was crowded, but the Kea where very close. At the end we asked the keeper when she was feeding the native birds and she said straight afterwards. We headed to the walk-through native bird aviary and as strangely we were the only people in it with the keeper, it spent ages as my wife had a great time photographing birds as they came to feed. If you want to see the Kea ring and check if/when talks/enrichment are on.

Great woldlife park experience
A wide variety of interesting animals in a more natural habitat than your average zoo. Lots to see and explore and the shuttle was a good option for those with slightly less mobility. We spent 3 hours there and could have easily spent another hour or two. Informative talks and signs.
